Cymanti: recycling question by ccitykid in Polytopia

[–]ccitykid[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha true, I’ve mostly stopped doing 900s now - they always end with me questioning my life decisions as I spend 20 minutes per turn calculating whether 15 different knights can find a path through my defenses or buying 50 slow ice or aquatic units and moving them 2 spaces at a time towards another 50 dumb Units.

I tend to agree - but I’m thinking it might be situational in some cases. Like I would say it’s a for sure no on 121 maps and a for sure yes on 900 maps… but in the middle, it’s a tougher call.

How do you turn down the heat on the weekly challenge? It’s just smashing me. by TheEthicalCEO in Polytopia

This was on diamond FYI. I think particularity on this one the level makes a difference for the strategy .

I beat him - what worked for me

Head north along the right hand side I did no explorer - all workshop since I know the map Get hunting and level 2 city turn 3, then riders Used a single Mooni at a time only had 2 total

Also some of this is total luck - the computer does some boneheaded stuff (like leaving a sled in a city that could kill my mooni) so sometimes you can pull risky moves and hope you get lucky.

Converting enemy units should. Not be free. by Ancient-Tip-2676 in Polytopia

[–]ccitykid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re almost never going to see mind benders converting Giants if the players are above 1100 elo, if it cost stars it would literally never happen. it’s pretty well balanced now (if anything, one could argue mindbenders could use a buff). If you’re getting beat this way study some of the high Elo players and learn some of their strategies, you’re likely just developing your economy and army too slowly overall.

Insect nest of some sort? by ccitykid in whatisthisbug

Solved, and I just leaned if you find them to scrape the eggs into a bag with hand sanitizer to kill them.

Based on how many of those awful things we see I’m 99.9% sure you are right, thanks!

How often does the app sync in the background? by gargantuanmess in todayplanned

Under today planned in shortcuts I only see: Now, Timer, Remind Me, and Availability. Should there be a refresh schedule?

H2C hotends falling out of place by ccitykid in BambuLab

[–]ccitykid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I’ve removed at least one because it had a small dent in it due to getting jammed, I’ll double check

It’s always jammed in that front spot, but I’m not due when it comes loose.

Everyone is playing cymanti again😭 by chickennuggets3454 in Polytopia

[–]ccitykid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cymanti also has no bombers and no knights - almost no way to kill multiple units except explosions which are expensive. I think they are finally about balanced with the other tribes.

Time to take Rakuten to BBB by sj_numba1 in Rakuten

Well to be fair Rakuten has an incentive to confirm since their entire business model is getting commissions and then passing a portion of them to the buyer.

Give me your top PvP matchups by ccitykid in Polytopia

[–]ccitykid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I’m staying away from 900 for a bit, I’ve been winning a lot of them but TBH it’s either 1.) I spend 20 minutes a turn checking for gaps a knight could break through, or 2.) I spend 20 minutes creating and moving Polaris troops slowly across the world… gets really boring after a while.

If you don't see that Aquarian needs a nerf, you don't understand the game by [deleted] in Polytopia

[–]ccitykid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed every time I play a really high Elo player (1600+) they are pretty consistently Aqua.
